First Time Buyers’ Initiative is designed to enable first time buyers, who cannot otherwise afford to buy a new home, to purchase a new property with an affordable mortgage and with government assistance to top up what they can already borrow from a bank...simple really! The idea is that the buyer can then pay some, or all, of the money back to the government once, and if, they are in a position to do so.

“We want to make the process as straight forward as possible for people buying through the First Time Buyers Initiative,” said Nicola Wallis, director of sales, Urban Splash. “As buying your first home is one of the biggest decisions of your life, to be able to offer more people the opportunity to do that through schemes like FTBI is fantastic. At Urban Splash we want people to enjoy living in our homes and FTBI is proving a great success at helping first time buyers on to the property ladder.”

*Reduced purchase price based on the maximum assistance a qualifying buyer could secure from the First Time Buyers’ Initiative. 50% is the maximum government contribution. Some eligible buyers will qualify for lower levels of assistance. Eligibility conditions apply. When owners sell their FTBI home, they will repay the government’s contribution by way of a share of the future sale proceeds.
